Brought tears to my eyes...My house just wasn't a home after my husband passed 32 years ago...💔...😔 💖RIP Sweet~Heart💖 Thank You Jamal for The Music, The Love and Great Smile! Keep up The Great Work! ✌💖🤘
Dionne Warwick’s reaction: GOLD!! And all the women screaming and swooning!! I think this was the NAACP Awards ceremony. This hit my heart, because I realize how much I miss him.
Luther never looked better or sounded better and I think he was all in for singing this song for Dionne who sang it first. Love was truly in the air. Brilliant!☮️❤️
Luther understood that love belongs to us all everyone, every color, every religion, gay and straight! That is why we can all connect and be one human race!☮️❤️
I’ve watched this so many times! Luther is phenomenal here and Dionne Warwick was in Heaven listening to him! The entire audience was hypnotized by his singing. It is beyond heavenly!❤️
The feeling you get when you see someone unafraid to walk in their God given gifts and talents...a true crooner and vocalist that is one of the best in history.
From 1988. They kept the camera on her because she sang it first in 1966 or '67. Written by Hal David and Burt Bacharach for her. I remember it was a hit or her. But Luther took it to another level. And she knows it.
Aww, Luther Vandross!!! This is a classic & beautiful performance, chills👏👏👏👏 Definitely one of the best live performances I’ve ever seen👏👏Love your reaction too😄
I have been a fan for years and had the absolute pleasure of seeing the man himself Luther Vandross live in concert and believe me vocal talent such as his is a true rarety. A singer who sounds better live than on a studio recording is a privilege to behold. Unforgettable, sadly missed and a true loss to the world of music.
Luther began his career as a back up singer for Dionne Warwick. She encouraged him to sing jingles for commercials ... and then he became the Luther we know and loved.
I was lucky enough to see Luther live TWICE in the 80s. And he would say throughout the show 'just like the record' because he wanted you to sing along with him. The best live performer ever!!!
Yes and he ALWAYS sung If only for One Night with Creep one after the other. And we would go crazy! Plus back in the day the radio stations always played those two back to back.
@@deborahtaylor3617 when i saw The Night I fell in Love tour the whole stage was decorated as his living room. Don’t remember, but he may have even started the concert with “Having a Party. “ In any case ,he said to the audience when he came out, “ Sit back and relax because we’re going to sing THEM ALL for you.” And he did. Such a great show.
"him, the mike & the curtain" Pure class Consummate performer He NEVER sang the same song the same way twice His ad lib made you wanting more and the way this song keeps you holding on... He talked while he sang And it was just the two of you alone In the room You knew he was singing ONLY to you... You felt it deep down, to your toes. Saw him live numerous times One of my all time top favorites ❤️❤️❤️
Nothing needs to be said. Listen to it 100 times. It's gets better and better. The man's voice is an instrument from God. Love this version of the song live. God Bless you Luther Thank u
Masterful performance with a pre-recorded track that’s so fluid rhythmically. He never tries to count or guess and he has no click track. He just expertly navigates all those pitfalls like it’s nothing. Oh and singing his you-know-what off the whole time! Such a great talent.
Luther is incredible! I saw him in concert probably about 6 or 7 times. "Never too Much" got me hooked a long time ago and I've been a huge fan ever since.
I'm so Jealous. If I could go back in time, I would find a way to attend at least one of his concerts. I so badly wished that I could have seen and listened to him live. Some of his songs are better live than they are recorded
Best live performance ever! Do you know the story about Luther and Dionne Warwick? When he was younger he told people she was his Aunt! Was fortunate enough to see him live in Chicago with Anita Baker.
I’ve always said Luther Vandross is the Best Voice to ever be recorded! This man sounded the same live in concert as he sounded on his records and he had some of the baddest background singers ever!
I remember watching this when it aired and was blown away from his performance but so was she, because when he called her on stage all she could say was " you sure can sing....no, I mean you REALLY can sing" I wish they've left that part on 💙
Luther did this. Another great Live version was 1981 when it first came out performed on Saturday Night Live. He got a standing ovation!!! *Janet lived next door to Luther & they were good friends. We'd wait on him like Whitney & get excited at the notes. Ironically Whitney is Dionne's cousin. *He was on Arsenio before his full performance & was asked to do just a little & when he sang a capella Arsenio literally laid on the floor & started kicking his legs up, he couldn't take it & Luther sings like we breathe effortlessly.
I can't say I'm a particular R&B fan, but this video has been on my playlist for years. He was fantastic, and the world is a sorrier place without him in it.
Holy hell man, you are hitting my favs today! This is the absolute GREATEST version of this Bacharach song. Dionne does a great version too but this song was MEANT for Luther. Man you really know what recommendations to choose. Lol. God this song was perfect for Luther Vandross
Watch "Brook Benton: A House is Not a Home (Bacharach, David, 1964)" on RU-vid ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-rgwGOAS_Gzk.html Great version before Dionne but I agree. Totally meant for Luther!
Luther vandross is a great singer love his voice he sings this song great he can definitely get a crowd going with his great voice great performance indeed I would love to be there listening to him he is a so awesome
l'll fight anyone that says that performance is not the top male vocal performance of all time! Who could kill it like Luther? Especially this damn song and this performance.
Had tickets to finally see Luther in concert and the concert was cancelled due to his health. Wish I could have seen him. He was the ultimate. RIP dear Luther.
Even though Soundwaves go outward, this man has the ability to lure you back in. So smooth!!! Note: not a dry panty in that building. Woo my soul feels cleansed
The GOAT! He's my FAVORITE and I had the privilege of seeing him LIVE a year and a half before he passed. What an honor! Better live than on a recording! AMAZING!!!! LOVE YOU LUTHER and may your dear soul be resting in peace. XOXO
Luther's recordings are beautiful, but nothing beats seeing him perform live! I miss him and this performance brought tears to my eyes. We just witnessed one of the great ones. Great reaction, Jamel, and RIP Luther!
Ok I am so behind in videos...but I saw this post and I had to drop everything to watch because I remembered watching this award show and I was blown away....Luther was one of THE BEST R&B singers of all time!!!!! RIP Luther we all know you are singing with the angels everyday in the presence of the Lord!
AGREED! It IS the GREATEST from the G.O.A.T. (R.I.P.) Felt it W/U. At 1st , the most felt reaction is Silence , so beyond words, to the Core of the Soul.
